I have a photo of myself that I wish to try photo makeover to. It's going on my ID badge so if the photo looks bad then I'll only have myself to blame. I'm having difficulty posting but I'll try to see if I can post it. I use PS6. The light was not very good but I want to lighten my skin and even the skin tone, smooth out my wrinkles (the light didn't help), brighten my teeth, open the eyes a bit, etc. Basically the works. Any ideas? I don't know where to start.
Hi clueless, welcome to the community. Hope you enjoy your stay. [honesty]
That tute is not "version specific" clueless, so go ahead and give it a try. Post the results of your progress here so everyone can try to help you, if you get stuck.
Welcome to the board. One thought which immediately struck me was that perhaps a change of the background might be an idea. The cement/stucco wall seems a little hard and the color may not be the best to contrast the portrait. The only other thought was, I wish I had a full head of hair!
OK, here goes. This is after the median filter has been applied. I couldn't go more than 2 pixels on the radius without losing a lot of detail. On the layer mask should I be using reveal all or hide all mask. I don't seem to see any difference in terms of wrinkles but then again maybe I'm doing something wrong. I take it that I merge down before I go to step 2?
Here's what I've done so far. In addition to what I did above I used the dodge tool on the midtones at 46% opacity. Added the diffuse glow from the filters.
